Concealed carry - These Tells Might Be Giving You Away!

[Twangbanger]

We teach "characteristics of armed persons" to new recruits. A lot of great information to understand what you are seeing. You may notice things but don't have the context to understand what it means.

Is walking like you have a gimp leg one of them?

Lack of arm-swing?

I asked if I could post a shot of her P365 hanging around her neck, with the girls. She said, "No! Give them a shot of me fingering my *****." Here you go.

Yeah, a big tell is the constant "security tap" making sure it's where they tucked it, usually AIWB with no holster.

Sweatpants/Mexican with a stendo-mag?

Not sure if my clothing choices give me away. Is the "t-shirt tucked in with unbuttoned/untucked (often Hawaiian) shirt that's a size too large" look a giveaway or just age-appropriate?

What can I say, I don't dress like a hipster.

Swap Hawaiian shirt for flannel, and that is me 95% of the time.

To kinda go along with this, watch how other people are looking at other people. Certain guys immediately jump to the top of the rankings for being squared away.
You don’t have to see my gun, if I’m checking out your waistline (no homo) and then make eye contact after I make you you can know I have one too.
I went to a bigger church a few times and I know the security team knew not because they could see my gun but because of eye contact.

There’s plenty of ways to communicate it.

Personally I don’t care at all if I’m made.
The bad guys are too busy fiddling with their mexican carry piece and the sheep will never know even if you tried to show them, and it’s ok for the good guys to all know IMO.

Same question. Asking for a friend

Safety rule number one….Treat every person as armed.

And there goes the beer, out my nose and all over the keyboard. Thanks, friend!

I know I constantly feel the need to check that my shirt is covering my gun, I'm sure those that care would notice, but the sheep don't... I watch for other armed citizens, and I'm sure I print sometimes, but I don't try to bring attention to myself...I once told my family... "If you see me, I have a gun" They don't ask now....
